My most interesting finds from the January London Art Fair, held in Islington at the Business Design Centre.

After some years attending the London Art Fair I have a fair idea of where to find the artists that will catch my eye. Here’s what I loved at this January’s show, held at the Business Design Centre in Islington.

John Stark: The Division of Labour. This eery tableaux features beekeepers poring ominously over their hives.

Justin Hammond is the curator and founder of both The Catlin Guide and the Catlin Art Prize. Here he describes the process behind the making of the influential and highly anticipated publication for 2012, due to be launched at the London Art Fair.

The best Contemporary Craft came from Ashleigh Williams, Sarah Bevan and Hollie Anderson at Hereford College of Arts who deservedly won Best Stand. There was also lovely stuff from Nottingham Trent University - especially Laura Matthews' upcycled acrylic rats.
